I was at Joanns yesterday and they got some if the new FQs in and they are now $1.99. They used to be $1.49.

I was at mine on Sat. They have some in the holders, but not more than 20. Yes, the price is up to $1.99 I hope the quality is better in the new ones...

Do you mean you're finding a difference in the quality of the Kona that JoAnn carries, versus what's in the LQSs?

Thats the fabric i was going to get, but didn't the way it looked or the fact that feel felt cheap! I was disappointed cause I had read nothing but great ratings about the fabric from Joann's website.

I have an interview with them tomorrow!!! Hope I get the job! First interview in three years!!!

I see you live in Williamsport, I live in Muncy! We will have to get together sometime!

As for the FQ at Joanns, I was in there on Saturday, and just happened to mention it to the manager. She said they are in the back just waiting to be restocked. I mentioned that the stickers were impossible to get off sometimes. She said they don't put them on, they come from the suppliers that way, and that maybe the new supplier would use something that would come off easier. She did mention also that the FQ's were going to be slightly more expensive.

no question about it. the kona it joann's is not as good. just like the debbie mumm. they used to carry a better quality of that also. now the kona and the mumm are bad.
